I decided to include all the date attributes associated with Fact Sales table in the same Fact sales table to make it easier to process the data without getting error message whenever reports are executed. On the business layer, I deleted the Date Dim and recreated a new Date Dim not associated with Date Dim table. Then I add the dimensions of the Date Dim by dragging the attributes from Fact Sales table and deleted any other date dimensions on the Fact Sales table on the business layer.

Oracle OBIEE
153
154
Installation & Configuration
Java Home and the environment variable for java home have to be implemented for a successful deployment.
155
Oracle Repository Creation Utility will be utilized to create the necessary tablespace and schema including the database objects for the Oracle OBIEE. The Microsoft loopback adapter is used to create the static IP address since OBIEE will throw an error during installation if a dynamic IP address is used for both the database and OBIEE installations. The loopback adapter is also utilized by other database like DB2, Sybase ASE and SQL Server depending on the configurations which makes it easier for applications like SQL Developer to connect too. Only the Metadata and Business intelligence platform are need for OBIEE. Windows server or any server OS is the best option for installing OBIEE due to performance related issues during installation and configuration.
Verification
156
Installation
Enterprise install option will install both the Oracle
Weblogic and OBIEE application and the software only install option will install the OBIEE application which can be manually deploy the application. For that option an existing Oracle Weblogic needs to be preinstalled first for that option to work.
157
Note: Oracle OBIEE has many installation options which depend on the Operating Systems configurations, Weblogic and java versions even for development based systems. Weblogic can be
installed first and later OBIEE in the same folder with web logic. Then OBIEE is manually deployed or set up to use the weblogic.

Oracle BI Publisher Desktop, Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Client and Applications have to be installed following a successful installation.
164
DBA Task
Due to high memory usage by business intelligence applications like OBIEE, the default memory size has to be increased to increase performance using Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g or SQL Developer as illustrated below for each tablespace including the temporary tablespace.
165
166
OBIEE Administration
In the following task, I would set up the JDBC connections for database systems for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and 2012 and IBM DB2.
167
168
Sample ReportsFor this demonstration, on the first part I would utilized the OBIEE sample provided to create simple reports and on the second part, SQL Server AdventureWorksDW 2008 would be utilized to create the repository which would be deployed into the server for reports development.
